The Savage Gear 3D Line-Thru Trout is based on a 3-D scan of a live hatchery trout to create an ultra-realistic bait for fooling big largemouth bass. The triple-jointed soft-plastic body has a fluid swimming motion while an internal nylon mesh keeps the bait intact. The line-through design allows the bait to slide up the line so that a bass cannot use it as leverage to free the hook. The Line-Thru Trout is available in four sizes: 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch, and three styles, floating, sinking, and slow-sinking.

Seaguar Threadlock hollow-core braided line features 16 strands in a high-density weave for increased tensile and impact strength, along with increased abrasion resistance. The hollow-core line allows for knotless connections to the leader material, enabling the long leaders often necessary to fool sharp-eyed blue-water fish. Threadlock is available in blue, white, yellow, or green, in strengths of 50- to 200-pound test, and 600- or 2500-yard spools.
